The current economic climate would encourage me to keep at least Chinese history on the syllabus, though.
You could play with hot potatoes instead.. which version do you want? A simple example: http://www.lostlaowai.com/blog/ae/reviews/review-the-new-lonely-planet-china... "The latest edition of Lonely Planet China hit the shelves this summer, a fact you might not have noticed if you actually live in China. That’s because despite the plethora of stores selling LP guides, the China one is hard to come by. LP’s official stance is that Taiwan is not part of the motherland, and so the book is effectively “banned.” I searched all over Beijing to no avail, but one bookstore clerk told me you could buy it in Shanghai but you had to ask for it by name as it was hidden behind the counter. How cloak and dagger!" You can expect a protest note from the Chinese Embassy everytime you write a schoolbook. The easiest way is the Chinese Patriotism course they wanted to introduce in Hong Kong's schools. Bummer, even the Hong Kong people protested against it.. Regards Peter
